Dynamics Processor Meters 73

ProMix 01 User’s Guide

KEY IN — this is used to select the processor trigger source. (i.e. the

signal that triggers, or activates the processor). The current setting is

highlighted. Other settings ﬂash when selected. Settings are activated

by pressing [ENTER].

The options are:

IN — this parameter appears only when PATCH is set to STEREO. It

determines whether a dynamics processor is patched into just the

left/odd channel (L), right/even channel (R), or both (BOTH).

Dynamics Processor Meters

The amount of processor gain reduction (GR) and the output signal

levels are metered on the COMP LCD function, as shown below. Gain

reduction is the amount by which a signal’s level is reduced. The out-

put signal levels work from bottom-to-top as conventional level

meters. The GR level meter, however, works from top-to-bottom.

For compression, limiting, and ducking, the GR meter operates when

the processor is active (i.e. has been triggered by the KEY IN signal)

and it shows the amount of signal level reduction. For a gate, however,

the processor is active when the input signal is below the threshold.

So the GR meter operates when the input signal is below the threshold

and also when there is no input signal.

Note: The ON/OFF, PATCH, KEY IN, and IN parameters are not stored

in dynamics programs. They are, however, stored in mix scenes.
